where:
grasslands sweep over the landfill
mud is silvered by water
the A13 is dampened by flight
gravel pit chutes house the future
lorries bring waste to waste
where the air is the only thing you can feel
when:
the roses die and the rosehips come
the cold is snapping
storms blow in from the east
April is too calm
the south is too broiling
when you look up
incantation:
snow bunting | slavonian grebe
whooper swan | gannet
barnacle goose | fieldfare
slaty backed gull | white tail plover
whimbrel | bearded tits | whinchat
bittern | great white egret | peregrine
spoonbill | stone curlew | scoter
black swan | ring ouzel | laughing gull
glossy ibis | corn bunting | brambling
white stork | serin | serin | serin
